Do i have to buy anything else?
I've had viper remote starters on my all my cars (all manual trans) and current wrx. They have a safety feature built in to prevent the setting of the remote start if the vehicle is in gear.

If installed properly, you would have to do the following to set the remote start:

1.) All doors closed, engine on, in neutral.
2.) Foot on brake, then apply e-brake.
3.) Release foot on brake, press remote start button on remote.
4.) Your lights should go on and off about 4 times (telling you it is set).
5.) Exit car with keys, and lock with remote.

This ensures that the car is in neutral and cannot be set into gear without the unlocking/opening of a door. ( doing so should disable the remote start feature)

If you do not have to do this to operate your viper system, take it back to your installer and demand a refund/fix.
